I replied to that with something to the effect of “sounds fun but what do I do when I’m done in the middle of the 7th and there are 2 more innings left”?

Isn't that right around the time they're blowing their lead?

har har. With the shorter game times, they extended beer sales by an inning. Anything to make an extra $1 (or $16.50 in this case)

I wonder if that's across the board or just certain parks that do it?

This season, Comerica Park in Detroit sold through the 7th inning in the seating area and the 8th inning at concessions stands.

 

[krafticus]

I am curious though, did the vendors in the seating area change for "your" ballparks?
Camden Yards used to have Hot Dogs, Beer, Soda/water, ice cream, cotton candy, and a few other items vending in the stands. After covid, it's beer, cotton candy, and the occasional lemonade person. That's it.

When we were in Anaheim last year, there was beer, dogs, pizza, churros, etc. I think it sucks that the Orioles are pretty much beer only in the stands now.

Just before that is when my brother and I get in line and buy like two 20oz beers a piece. We'd buy more but would have issues carrying them.

Did that at a couple of games last season when I went up to Cincinnati:

This one was great ! There was a no hitter.... thrown against us.

Here, alcohol sales are max 2 per person, per transaction.

Same thing all the parks I’ve been too.

Food in the stands is still prevalent here for both Chase Field and Sprint Training. Dodger Dogs, cotton candy, popcorn, sausage dogs, etc. The most esoteric snacks you need to go up to concession for.
